i arrived at the abandoned pier at midnight to see her lying down on the beach, already staring at the sky.
i opened my mouth, but she put a finger to her lips.
i closed it.
she patted the sand beside her.
i joined her.
and then i understood why she wanted it quiet.
the sound of the waves crashing against the sand and the mute sounds of the sparkling stars made for some beautiful music, and the glowing moon conducted it all.
i had been so confused about all the parts of her;
i didn't know how it all could be summed up into one person.
but that night i realized the truth.
the girl was the night sky drowned in the murky ocean, masked over with the glow of the sun.
and she was gorgeous for it.
